DID YOU TELL THEM YOU’RE WATCHING THEIR
BLACK BOX OF ROCKS
CLOAKED IN MOCK THOUGHTFULNESS
AND SEALED WITH HAPPY TALK
DID YOU TELL THEM YOU’RE LOOKING
INTO THAT PLACE INSIDE THEIR HEADS
WHERE THEY DENY THE DISTINCTION
BETWEEN THE JOY AND THE DREAD
GO TELL THEM YOU’RE WATCHING THEIR
BLACK BOX OF ROCKS
DID YOU TELL THEM YOU’VE SEEN THE INVISIBLE THREAD THAT AT ONCE EXPOSED AND UNITED DECEPTIVE WORDS THAT THEY SAID
DID YOU TELL THEM YOU’RE SPYING ON THEM, LUSTING TO DESIGN YOUR OWN PROCESS AS THE SUBSTANCE IS OVERWORKED AND UNDERMINED
SO TELL THEM YOU’RE WATCHING THEIR
BLACK BOX OF ROCKS
GO TELL THEM YOU’RE WATCHING THEIR
BLACK BOX OF ROCKS
